It's insane to me that we're forechecking this well on the road. We don't even have last change. If our lines continue to do this all season, Raleigh is going to be hell on Earth for the rest of the NHL.
Was behind but fast-forwarded after we scored 4 goals. So, in short:

Barkov Stanley cup champ!

Yeah go ahead and sign Taylor Hall for 2 years $4m/yr.

Yeah, he's still got it. Maybe just on a heater because he's happy to be out of Chicago and motivated to go for a cup, but I love what I'm seeing from him.
Some thoughts so far.
KK still looks engaged. Really nice simple stuff from him. Driving to the net like a bull. This kind of heavy game and solid defensive presence will be worth gold in the playoffs.
Rantanen with some nice defensive plays and puck possession. He doesn't look like $13M right now but he does look like a top line player. Beautiful assist. I heard he was a moose but he hangs on to the puck like Jordan Staal, and can score and make beautiful passes. Even if Necas scores more with MacK, I think Rantanen's game could translate better to the playoffs. He's not great defensively, but I think he's better than Necas in that regard.
Jackson Blake actually looks really good. It's super encouraging that we have a post-Dundon draft pick, a 4th rounder even, making the team. He's making some mistakes and trying too much, but he's also learning better defense. I'm at the point now where I will be surprised if he ISN'T a top 6 mainstay within 2 years.
Andersen has been unbelievable tonight. It's like a revenge game against the Rags after last year's playoffs bounce. This should be a 4-2 or 4-3 Canes lead. Even his "easy" saves have been pretty good.
...And part of why he's had to look so good is I'm pretty sure Ghost is getting as much sleep as I was in my first months of being a Dad. If Ghost had a Burns jersey on we would have killed him by now. Maybe that's also being with Stillman as a partner. He's on a road trip, right? So he has to be sleeping, right?
I'm not sure where this Taylor Hall guy has been but damn Jesper Fast is playing the best hockey of his career. He's flying out there.
